Qatar Council for HealthCare Practitoners Pharmacy - Free Test Sample Questions

A child weighs 11 lb. His medication is prescribed to be taken as 5 mg/kg/day. What is the appropriate daily dosage for this patient?

Correct Answer:
25 mg


to determine the correct daily dosage of medication for a child weighing 11 pounds, it is essential to convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. this is because the dosage of the medication is prescribed in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). the conversion factor between pounds and kilograms is that 1 kilogram equals approximately 2.2 pounds.

first, convert the weight of the child from pounds to kilograms by dividing the weight in pounds by 2.2. for this patient: \[ \text{weight in kilograms} = \frac{11 \text{ lb}}{2.2 \text{ kg/lb}} \approx 5 \text{ kg} \]

next, we calculate the appropriate daily dosage using the prescribed dosage rate. the prescription is for 5 mg of medication per kilogram of body weight per day. therefore, the daily dosage is calculated by multiplying the weight of the child in kilograms by the dosage per kilogram: \[ \text{daily dosage} = 5 \text{ kg} \times 5 \text{ mg/kg} = 25 \text{ mg} \]

therefore, the correct daily dosage of medication for this child is 25 mg. this dosage ensures the medication is administered safely according to the child's weight, following the doctor's prescription guidelines.
